There's a single CSX unit stopped near south side of Michigan Ave in Lansing. Went through East Lansing westward in reverse a lil bit ago. Not sure what symbol he is or unit number or what he's waiting for. Unless JAIL is due south at some point

Edit - It was 751 that's been part of D705 and D706 for the last couple weeks. Proceeded toward Ensel Yard in Lansing with restricting signal @ 1143

Did they by chance drop off cars in Trowbridge? Maybe a long cut just for Howell? Trying to figure out why they would cross the diamond solo EB and then WB?

Not sure to be honest. I was at May St at the time not having gone near Trowbridge. Left home quick after seeing a WB pop up thinking it was something different. May St the closest I could think to guarantee myself whatever it was (still sluggish at listening to radio)

751-3203 was on D706 by Howell at 13:41, D708 had 4316-5222 was behind them and left 76 cars on the mail line for GLC, picked up the 83 cars in the Howell pass left by GLC last Friday, went to Brighton to run around their train and back west at Howell thru the pass at 17:40.

Tuesday's D70520 has over 200 cars and fresh power finally. 3280 is leading. If things go according to the norm, they will stall before they get to South Lyon.
